Crypto Academy Season Two Week 5: Homework Post for @yousafharoonkhan
hello Everyone,

I am much honored participating in this week homework task by prof @yousafharoonkhan. The detailed lesson was very comprehensive. Below are my response to the task.

>Question no 1 :
Write the definition of Decentralized and Centralized Social Media Platforms in your own words.Explain in your own words the difference between decentralization and centralization Social Media Platforms (answer should related Social Media Platforms . (answer must be written in oun words, copy paste or from other source copy will be not accepted)

## CENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
--------------------------
Centralized in a layman understanding is a situation in which the activities of an organization or a platform is being governed, managed or controlled by a central authority. With this ideology, we can say that a **Centralized Social Media Platforms** are those in which the activities of the platform are managed or controlled by a central system. clients only have access to their accounts but don't claim their accounts, which means that they just have limited control of their accounts. In this type of social media platform users accounts can be blocked, suspended and even massages can be altered by central authority that controls the platform. Also changes to these platforms are concedes by only the central authority. Examples of some decentralized social media platforms are Facebook, Instagram, twitter and many others.

Taking Facebook for example, user account can be blocked when he/she violate the terms and conditions of the platform. Also changes concerning Facebook platform is being done by mark Zuckerberg without any consultation. Years back the Facebook platform had no status viewing option, but now he implemented it without any user awareness.

## DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
---------------------------------
Decentralized Social Media Platforms in simple terms are open platforms in which users have a complete access to their accounts. This platform is not controlled by a single authority but rather everyone gets equal opportunity when it comes to amendments or changes regarding the platform. Also information concerning users account cannot be altered without his awareness and approval. Examples of some decentralized social media platforms are Steemit, Hive and others.

**<center>DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DECENTRALIZED AND CENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS</center>**
-----------------------
CENTRALIZED | DECENTRALIZED
------------------ | --------------
On centralized social media platforms, accounts are claimed by the central specialist, clients are just given access to it. | In decentralized social media platforms, accounts are possessed by clients who exclusively have access to their accounts.
Centralized social media platforms are directed by the single authority which possesses the platform. | decentralized social media platforms are not directed by anyone.
Your article can be altered, erased or expelled when it goes against the terms and conation of the platform | Your article cannot be altered, erased or expelled but can be muted when it contains plagiarized contents.
Client data is shared by promoting companies in central social media as an advertisement. | In decentralized social media, client data is kept secret.
It is inclined to been hacked | Less prone to hack
Very simple and user friendly interface. | Decentralized social media platforms are as a rule complex to utilize

>Question no 2 :
Which One is The Future of Social media ? Decentralized or centralized Social media.(answer must be written in own words)

***From my point of view, I will choose decentralized social media platforms as the future social media.***

**Reason:** I have joined a lot of centralized social media platforms like Facebook, twitter, Instagram since 2013 and ever since have been writing quality contents which has never been paid. The only people who make earning from these centralized social media platforms are the celebrities which are very few in the society. Ever since I have joined Steemit two month ago, I have made more than $1,222, this helped me support myself and my siblings.

And also ever since I joined Steemit, I barely visit the centralized social media platforms since its only consumes my money and brings me nothing in return.  Some of my friends who have also joined steemit have deleted their Facebook, Twitter accounts since It’s only time wasting.  Besides the decentralized platforms do not required any popularity to eared reward but rather the quality of content you write. 

I think a lot of people will begin to Exit the centralized social media platforms when they get to know more about the rewards earned in decentralized social media platforms.

>Question no 3 :
How steemit decentralization social media is best than Twitter and Facebook.(answer must be written in own words)

***I in particular used these three different social media platforms, and I will explain to you how steemit decentralized social medial platform is much better than Facebook and Twitter.***

Firstly, the steemit decentralized social media platform gives out rewards to its users with four different tokens, that is, Steem Power, SBD, Steem and Trons. These rewards are given based on the quality of content or article a user has presented. Even on the steemit platform, you get curation reward for given an up vote on a post and the author to the post too get author rewards. These rewards can be redeemed after every seven days of posting. In both Facebook and Twitter, we only create post to make others laugh, there is no reward for creating a quality content.

Secondly, when a post in both Facebook and Twitter goes against the terms and conditions of the platform, the post is being deleted, even if the user is not lucky, his account will be blocked. With regards to the steemit decentralized social media platform, everyone has the liberty to make a post, so far as the post is not plagiarized, it will be in the community for others to benefit.

Thirdly, the Steemit platform enable its users to acquire knowledge and skills. For example, the cryptoacademy community enlighten its members about the crypto world. I have learned price forecasting in one of the professor’s lessons. In the **Steem Foods** community, members learned how to prepare both local and foreign ditches. In **writings and review** community, members learned how to present a good article to attract reads. With regards to Facebook and Twitter, we cannot achieve this knowledge and skills.

Also, Steemit has improve the living standard of its uses. In last month, there was a contest on how steemit has impacted your life. A lot of users wrote on this contest explaining how they have benefited from steemit. Some even moved from rural area to urban areas due to the money they made from steemit. The centralizes social media platforms have been in the system for years’ now, we have made nothing out of it.

Lastly, yhe steemit social media platform is more secured than that of Facebook and Twitter. My accounts on both Facebook and Twitter have been hacked several time, I only retrieved it due to the knowledge I have in IT. But with the steemit platform, so far as your keys are safe from others, your account is yours and yours only.

>Question no 4 :
What do you say? How do Steemit social media change the lives of millions of its users?(answer must be written in own words)

Everyone on this platform will testify positively, how steemit social media platform has impacted their life. With the tokens awarded by the steemit platform, users trade these tokens for fiat, these allow them purchase anything they want. Me as an example, I bought a new phone from the rewards gotten from steemit. The amount I used for the phone would have cost me years to accumulate, but due to steemit, I was able to acquire it within a month of joining steemit.

So far as you have a unique skill or talent, you can create a quality content which will earned you a reward.

>Question no 5 :
How can we make money with Steemit's decentralized social media.(write your own experience)

***There are so numerous ways to make money with steemit. Over it all you need to put in much exertion so as to advantage from your hard work. Below are the ways of which you can make money with steemit.***

Firstly, you need to be able to create quality contents or articles in the various communities. When you create a quality article, the admin to the various communities select it for Booming to give your post an up vote. The percentage of up vote from Booming account depend on the quality of your content. So in all you can make money by presenting quality content.

Secondly, you need to be diverse with your post, you should not be geared towards posting in a particular community. There a lot of different communities of which you can present your contents. For instance, I post in **world of football community** football related staffs which earn me rewards. Also, I present by homework task given by the various professors in the **Crypto Academy Community**, which gives me rewards whenever I make a mark pass 4. I also post diary game in **Steem Ghana community.**

Lastly, you can also earn rewards by given an up votes on different users’ quality content. While the author redeems author rewards, you also gain curation rewards.

All these rewards can be trade for fiat which gives you actual money.
